Is it twice as expensive under the age of 28? Official: refunded, travel in Xizang "different prices for the same group in Xizang Autonomous Region | relevant | Xizang
In response to the netizens' report that the group travel to Xizang "has different prices for the same group, twice the price of other tourists, and hopes to refund the price difference", on June 21, the relevant department of the Xizang Autonomous Region replied that the relevant staff had already made a refund for the netizens.
On June 16, a netizen reported on the "Leaders' Message Board" of People's Daily Online that he had just graduated and, with his yearning for Xizang, contacted Xizang Impression Travel Agency online and took more than 40 hours to travel to Xizang by train. The 7-day trip affected their overall impression of Xizang because of some operations of travel agencies.
The netizen claimed that before coming, the travel agency staff stated that a group consisted of 12 to 18 people, but in reality, they only informed 27 people who participated after signing the contract, which is a form of consumer deception; The contract clearly states that there is no mandatory consumption, but the tour guide has repeatedly taken them to Tianzhu and Tibetan medicine shopping points, greatly affecting the gaming experience.
In addition, the netizen said that after communicating with other passengers, he found that the group fee he paid was much higher than that of other passengers. "The travel group fee paid by the two of us was 4760 yuan, plus 300 yuan for insurance, totaling 5060 yuan, 2530 yuan per person, while the cost for other passengers was about 1200 yuan per person." The netizen said that the travel agency staff explained that this price is applicable to passengers under 28 years old, and passengers over 28 years old will be more than 1000 yuan cheaper due to their purchasing power. This netizen doubts that this is discrimination against young people and hopes that the travel agency will refund the price difference.
On June 21, the relevant department of the Xizang Autonomous Region replied: "For the problems you have reflected, the relevant staff has already refunded you. Thank you for your affirmation and support of our work!"
On June 27, the staff of Xizang Impression Travel Agency told Pengpai that they did not know about it. It denies the existence of price inconsistency before and after the age of 28, and believes that the price inconsistency should be caused by different registration channels or times. The reporter requested to communicate with the person in charge of the travel agency who was familiar with the matter, but received no response.
